What You're Doing/Working Man Songtext
von Rush

We′d like to play you something for you
From our debut album, this is "What You're Doing"

Well I see you standing there
With your finger in the air
Everything we do
Wanna leave it up to you

Who do you think you are?
You think you wanna start
Try to run the town
Always try to put us down

Well you think that you′re right
You think you're out of sight
Tell me something mister
Why do you have to make us so uptight?

Well you say you've been tryin′
You know that you′re lyin'
Steady you′ve been groovin'
Who do you think you′re foolin' now?


Well you better start changin′
Your life needs rearrangin'
You better do some talkin'
Or you better do some walkin′ now

Yeah you think that you′re right
You think you're out of sight
Tell me something mister
Why do you have to make us so uptight?

I know what you′re doing
All that you've been doing wrong
I don′t know what you're feelin′
Oh, but you been feelin' long

Well you say that you're right
Tell me something mister
Why do you have to make us so uptight?

Ok, compatriots

Well, I get up at seven, yeah
And I go to work at nine
I got no time for livin′
Yes, I′m workin' all the time


It seems to me
I could live my life
A lot better than I think I am
I guess that′s why they call me
And they call me the workin' man

They call me the workin′ man
I guess that's what I am

We all get home at five o′clock
And we take myself out an ice cold beer
Always seem to be wonderin'
Why there's nothin′ goin′ down here

It seems to me
I could live my life
Better than I think I am
I guess that's why they call me
Call the workin′ man

They call me the workin' man
I guess that′s what I am

It seems to me
I could live my life
Better than I think I am
I guess that's why they call me
Yeah, they call me the workin′ man

They call me the workin' man
I guess that's what I am
Yeah they call me the working man

Thank you so much Toronto
Thank you so much to all those of you
Who supported us for over forty years
We so appreciate it
And we hope maybe one day we will meet again
Thank you so much
